Swarms are in search of a new home. With no hive to defend, their less likely to sting.

Happy Birthday Grampy! Have a great day!

Received the New York Outdoor News today . The date on it is for May 30 . . Bipartisan Legislation to expand crossbow hunting in Ny is working its way through both the senate and the assembly . If eventually passed , the bill , would allow the potential use of crossbows during any big game season and in any area where longbos are permitted . Too much for me to type https://www.outdoornews.com/2025/05/23/new-york-crossbow-bill-advances-in-encon-committees/

How do you not get stung?

Myt little guy didn't budge even with the dogs on him. You are right they are born with it.

I saw my first bee of the year but it was a bumble bee . We need the honey bees for pollination !

This little one was obeying one of the deepest instincts that deer are born with. It's not something that they reasoned out or are taught. It just is somehow imprinted in their brain at birth. I snapped a couple of pictures of this critter before I backed away and let nature take its course. The strange thing is that I have also seen versions of this same behavior in adult deer, where they were willing to sit tight at close range and let me walk right on by.

Looked out my front window, the sky was full of bees . Used the chain saw to settle them onto the same tree limb the other swarm lit days ago on. Twos a charm.

This mus ran right by the kill zone a couple of times before it stopped. I gave it an insurance shot just in case because wounded mus are very dangerous. SJC

I had one last year right in my front yard under a white birch And I live in the village

I only ever found one bedded fawn in my life . It was at my son's property in Italy Valley .

I've never seen them in the grass, like this before Always find them in areas of brush and along hedge rows. They also bed in heavy clover in my hay fields.

Just checked the spot they moved on.
